.
as far back as they could look
they were tribes living on the land
their story passed down to generation next
tribes quarreled/killed other tribes
some also traded/interrelated
along came America
39 million homeless
39 million living alone
rugged individualism
“pull yourself up by your own bootstraps”
“do what I say not what I do”
“curiosity kills the cat”
yes we remember the chapters between
there and here? Good!
“the times they are a’changing”
in the horizon
here comes peace
the sons and daughters
become mothers and fathers
to their fathers and mothers
who receive parental love
in a new way
some for the very 1st time
their children?
their children’s children?
it is for them to say
when they too
turn old and grey.
p.s. don’t forget to write.
